Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a small bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir to blend, then set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until creamy.
Add the eggs one at a time to the butter mixture, beating well after each addition.
Gradually mix the flour mixture into the creamed butter and sugar mixture until fully blended.
Stir in the chocolate chunks and, if desired, the chopped nuts.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto ungreased baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until cookies are golden brown around the edges but soft in the center.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 2 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
